The way these settings are set up should provide a decent challenge for most players, though the very best players will likely want to tweak them slightly to make things more challenging, especially in the case of the CPU Skill sliders. Similarly, if you’re finding these options are a bit too challenging for you, turn a few of the CPU Skill sliders down, and you’ll soon be able to find the level that’s right for you.
